After bringing up my children I worked in Colchester General Hospitals Sterilising unit, then moved to the Microbiology department where I worked as a lab technician for 12 years. I have been working in Queensway since then.
How long have you worked at Queensway?
I have worked at Queensway for nearly 5 years.
Where would a patient usually find you in the practice?
In the sterilizing department of Crown building.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
It feels good when I have managed to get everything cleaned, sterilised and returned to the surgeries and nobody has run out of instruments.
What do you enjoy doing out of work?
I read and sew and I like eating out.
What makes you smile?
My family
